Good Afternoon,
My question today concerns a client who wants to have an online
employment application - so prospective employees may apply to the
company directly. This is strictly an HTML site using formmail to send
the info to an HR representative. The form contains some sensitive
information in my opinion:
- employment history
- education history
- address, city, state, zip, phone, email
- salary requirements
- references
But no Social Security number. Because of that, they see no need for
an SSL certificate. This does not smell right to me, but I don't have
enough experience in this particular area to articulate a good argument
in favor of saving their butts with an SSL cert. Is there anything I
can point them towards? Or am I being prudish? I don't believe so.
Thanks, all advice is appreciated.
Dan
